    Default Nicknames for Generals and Agents?

    I ask myself if we would see Nicknames for ingame characters. Historically this was something usual. Specially Greek/Makedonian Kings had nicknames, often choosen by themself, somethimes even to show a policy. The Philo... was very common (the one who loves his brother, father, certain cultures etc. Further we have names like Poliorketes (the besieger), Monophthalmos (the one-eyed) etc. The Carthginian basicly used nicknames to differ people. Like Hanno the navigator, Hanno the great, Mago Son of Gisco etc. The Romans need a bit less of them because this is allready included in their name system. In this case certain traits became part of the family history. Brutus (dull, but in the context not offending) or Lepidus (languid, lazy) etc. Further we have the nicknames/titles for campaigns against other people like Africanus, Creticus, Germanicus etc.

    Would you like to see something like that or do you think it is to complex and belongs to a more complex mod?

    This would be great, I remember it was in RTW and M2TW
    I would again like to see characters such as 'Quintus the Brave' 'Sextus the Mad' 'Amulius the Butcher' and so on
    The problem is that the traits system that provides nicknames according to what the general does appears to be limited to three traits in Rome2, whereas it could reach dozens in older games

    After all any game on ancient Rome needs a potential Pompeius Magnus or Augustus Caesar
